Depression can feel like living in a deep, dark hole. You may have no energy, no hope that things will improve. You may be hearing some of the lies that depression tells us; it will never get better, you've already tried everything, why bother, you're always going to feel this way. Depression may tell you that you aren't strong enough to make changes in your life. Depression can drain the joy out of a sunny day, leaving you feeling hopeless and exhausted. You may be wondering how everyone else has it all sorted, and believe that if you were just a better person, you'd be ok.

Life can present you with all kinds of challenges and you do not need to face them alone. Aside from the treatment of mental illness, people attend therapy for many different reasons: to cope with a sudden loss or traumatic event, to learn how to better communicate in their relationships, to explore feelings following a divorce or another big life change, to manage work stress and more. Everyone’s story is different, and I am here to listen to yours. As a therapist, I strive to create a caring and accepting environment. I believe that everyone has the ability to improve their life, build resilience, and find happiness.

Hello and welcome! I created Clover Tree Therapy Services because I believe that all people should have access to compassionate and informed mental health treatment. Everyone has a unique story, and therefore I believe that there is no such as thing as "one correct treatment" and rather believe that treatment should be tailored to every individual. If you are interested in having a therapist that will partner with you on your mental health journey, please reach out!

For many people depression and anxiety, as well as other mental health problems can be difficult to treat successfully due to unresolved 'developmental trauma', or trauma related to the attachment type you had to your parent(s) / caregiver(s). I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment theory which mainly deal with early connections, good or bad, with primary caretakers. I am also trained in many new treatments based on the latest understanding of brain science, that are effective in treating unresolved developmental trauma, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Are you exhausted with trying to be the "perfect" parent? Or, are you concerned for the health of your partner or child? Our home with family can bring us great joy and a sense of connection but also can cause us significant stress and feelings of hopelessness when our vision of the future does not match our present reality. The journey of parenthood is universally tough, from wanting to conceive and pregnancy through raising adolescents and beyond. Through our work together at Healing Home Counseling Group, it is possible to find stability and strength and create peace and happiness at home for you and your family.

I have been working with the families of children with developmental and learning challenges for over thirty years in school, clinical and informal settings.
